Hyacinth is a very beautiful plant, especially when it flowers. The small and compact flowers are arranged together in a variety of vibrant colors, filled with the scent of spring. Today, I will introduce to you the cultivation skills for planting hyacinths.
I. Soil
When planting hyacinths, it is important to choose the right soil, preferably one that is loose and fertile with some water retention ability. Generally, a mix of peat soil and particle soil works well. Note that you cannot use only particle soil, as although it is loose, it lacks water retention.
II. Planting
Hyacinths are propagated through bulbs. Bury the bulbs in the soil. If you are using a 10 cm wide pot, one bulb is enough. Do not plant them too densely, as it will affect lighting. If you are using a larger pot, you can plant several bulbs. Make sure to bury them deep enough, which is beneficial for their growth.
III. Management
After planting the bulbs, place them in a bright area. They will first grow roots, and after a month, the small sprouts will slowly emerge. At this time, remember to use some fertilizer on them, once every half month. It is recommended to choose a fertilizer with a higher potassium content, which can promote faster sprouting and flowering of the plants.
Generally speaking, watering should follow the principle of "water moderately and water when dry." When the climate is too dry, you can spray water to keep the soil moist. The flowering period is from March to April every year. You can fertilize once before flowering, and once after flowering and during the autumn and winter growth periods. You can use some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In the summer, hyacinths will enter a dormant period. After the flowers fade, remove the bulbs and plant them again in the fall.
